Review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) by Rebecca31 — 20 Dec 2016

So here's a Star Wars movie that's not really a Star Wars movie. You get a whole bunch of new and dispensable characters most of which I've completely forgotten, a story that's missing the wow factor, a great soundtrack and a decent cast. Don't get me wrong I didn't hate this movie, there was some scenes I thoroughly enjoyed and honestly most of them were towards the end. Yet overall I was a little underwhelmed but can take comfort in the fact that this is not the worst Star Wars movie you could watch.

However, let us not forget what this movie really is...a cash grab. A filler movie with some nice little bits of nostalgia to remind you that oh yes this IS a Star Wars movie. The inevitability of Disney owning Star Wars is we'll get a new movie every year and that might sound like a dream come true now but in the year 2040 with the 32nd Star Wars movie you'll wish you never heard the words Disney and Star Wars together. I'll recommend this because it's worth a watch once but if you're a Star Wars fan you'll go see this no matter what anyone says.
